All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of the claimed invention.

[0029] Example:

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a fish tank filtration device, including:

[0031] Hanging box 1 is hung on the side wall of the fish tank. At the front end of the hanging box 1, there is an inlet 11 and an outlet 12. The outlet 12 is set to correspond to the internal space of the fish tank so as to introduce the filtered water into the fish tank.

[0032] Water supply pipe 2, the upper end of water supply pipe 2 is connected to water inlet 11;

[0033] Mounting base 3, with a water inlet 31 on the front side wall of mounting base 3, and a water pump 32 installed inside mounting base 3. The water inlet of water pump 32 is connected to water inlet 31, and its outlet is connected to the lower end of water pipe 2.

[0034] Top filter assembly 4 is located at the upper end of the hanging box 1, and the water inlet of the top filter assembly 4 is connected to the water inlet 11.

[0035] The back filter assembly 5 is located at the rear end of the hanging box 1, and the water inlet of the back filter assembly 5 is connected to the water outlet of the top filter assembly 4 or to the water inlet 11, and the water outlet of the back filter assembly 5 is connected to the water outlet 12.

[0036] In this embodiment, by detachably installing a top filter assembly 4 on the hanging box 1, the water in the aquarium is purified through the combined action of the top filter assembly 4 and the back filter assembly 5, or the water in the aquarium is purified through the back filter assembly 5 alone. Its structure is simple, easy to install and disassemble, and can further improve the filtration effect, while also effectively enhancing the user experience.

[0037] The hanging box 1 is hung on the side wall of the aquarium. At the front end of the hanging box 1, there is an inlet 11 and an outlet 12. The inlet 11 is connected to a water supply pipe 2, so that the inlet 11 and the upper end of the water supply pipe 2 are connected. The lower end of the water supply pipe 2 is connected to a mounting base 3. A water pump 32 is installed in the mounting base 3. The inlet of the water pump 32 is connected to the water supply outlet 31, and its outlet is connected to the lower end of the water supply pipe 2. Thus, the water pump 32 pumps water from the aquarium through the water supply outlet 31 into the water supply pipe 2. A back filter assembly 5 is detachably installed at the rear end of the hanging box 1. If the water in the aquarium... When the water quality is poor, a top filter assembly 4 can be added at the upper end of the hanging box 1. Then, the water inlet 11 is connected to the water inlet of the top filter assembly 4. Secondly, the water outlet of the top filter assembly 4 is connected to the water inlet of the back filter assembly 5, and the water outlet of the back filter assembly 5 is connected to the water outlet 12. This allows the water in the water supply pipe 2 to flow back into the fish tank after passing through the water inlet 11, the top filter assembly 4, the back filter assembly 5, and the water outlet 12. The combined action of the top filter assembly 4 and the back filter assembly 5 further purifies the water and improves the water quality. Of course, if the water quality in the aquarium is good, the top filter assembly 4 can be removed from the hanging box 1. That is, the top filter assembly 4 is not installed at the upper part of the hanging box 1. In this case, the water inlet 11 is directly connected to the water inlet of the back filter assembly 5, and the water outlet of the back filter assembly 5 is connected to the water outlet 12. This allows the water in the water supply pipe 2 to flow back into the aquarium after passing through the water inlet 11, the back filter assembly 5, and the water outlet 12. The water is then purified separately by the back filter assembly 5.

[0038] Furthermore, the back filter also includes multiple back filter baskets 51 and a back filter housing. The multiple filter baskets are stacked vertically in the internal space of the filter housing to divide the internal space of the filter housing into two independently set water inlet chambers and water outlet chambers. The water inlet end of the water inlet chamber is connected to the water outlet end of the top filter assembly 4 or to the water inlet 11. The water outlet end of the water inlet chamber is connected to the water inlet end of the water outlet chamber. The water outlet end of the water outlet chamber is connected to the water outlet 12. Filter media components are respectively set in the multiple filter baskets.

[0039] Preferably, the upper end of the back filter basket 51 is open, and multiple through holes are provided on the bottom wall of each back filter basket 51 so that two adjacent back filter baskets 51 can communicate with each other.

[0040] Specifically, the top filter assembly 4 includes multiple top filter baskets 41, which are stacked vertically at the upper end of the hanging box 1. Each top filter basket 41 is provided with a water inlet pipe, the lower end of which is connected to the water inlet 11, and the upper end of which is connected to the internal space of the top filter basket 41 or to the water inlet pipe of the top filter basket 41 located above it. Multiple through holes are provided on the bottom wall of each top filter basket 41 to allow two adjacent top filter baskets 41 to communicate with each other. The water outlet of the bottommost top filter basket 41 is connected to the water inlet of the back filter assembly 5. Filter media components are respectively provided in the multiple top filter baskets 41.

[0041] Furthermore, it also includes a water-proof basket 43 and a top cover 44. The water-proof basket 43 is installed inside the top filter basket 41 at the topmost end to divide the internal space of the top filter basket 41 into upper and lower cavities. A sleeve 45 is connected at the lower end of the water-proof basket 43. The lower end of the sleeve 45 is connected to the water inlet pipe of the current top filter basket 41. An opening is provided on the water-proof basket 43 to allow the upper and lower cavities of the top filter basket 41 to communicate with each other. The top cover 44 is installed on the upper end of the water-proof basket 43.

[0042] Specifically, it also includes a cover plate 9, which is placed on the upper part of the top filter assembly 4 or the hanging box 1.

[0043] Preferably, it also includes a water pipe 6, which is sleeved on the outside of the water supply pipe 2. A water inlet 61 is provided at the upper end of the water pipe 6, and the water inlet of the water pump 32 is connected to the water supply inlet 31 and the water inlet 61 respectively.

[0044] Furthermore, it also includes a water-blocking component 7, which is movably disposed at the water inlet 31. The water-blocking component 7 is driven to move by an external force to open or close the water inlet 31.

[0045] Specifically, the water-blocking assembly 7 includes a water-blocking plate and an adjusting rod 71. The water-blocking plate is vertically and flexibly installed at the water inlet 31. An adjusting groove 72 is provided on the outer wall of the water pipe 6. One end of the adjusting rod 71 is connected to the water-blocking plate, and the other end extends outward after passing through the adjusting groove 72. The adjusting rod 71 is driven by external force to slide up and down along the adjusting groove 72, thereby causing the adjusting rod 71 to drive the water-blocking plate to control the opening and closing of the water inlet 31.

[0046] In this embodiment, an inlet 11 and an outlet 12 are respectively provided at the front end of the hanging box 1, that is, an inlet 11 and an outlet 12 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the front end of the hanging box 1. A back filter assembly 5 is provided at the rear end of the hanging box 1. Since the hanging box 1 is hung on the side wall of the fish tank, the inlet 11 and outlet 12 are located inside the fish tank, while the back filter assembly 5 is located outside the fish tank. Multiple back filters are stacked vertically in the internal space of the filter shell. The filter basket 51, through the coordinated operation of multiple back filter baskets 51, divides the internal space of the back filter housing into two independently configured inlet and outlet chambers. This creates an outlet chamber between the outer wall of the back filter basket 51 and the inner wall of the back filter housing, while the space within the filter basket forms the inlet chamber. The bottoms of the inlet and outlet chambers are interconnected. Furthermore, the height of the inlet 11 is lower than the height of the outlet 12, preventing mutual interference between the inlet and outlet water, thus avoiding the filtered water being affected by the incoming water. In addition, each back filter basket 51 contains filter media components to purify the water flowing through it. Multiple back filter baskets 51 are stacked vertically within the back filter housing, with adjacent baskets interlocking. This facilitates the installation and removal of the filter media components within the back filter housing, further enhancing the user experience.

[0047] Furthermore, since the upper part of the hanging box 1 is open, it is convenient to cover the upper part of the hanging box 1 with a cover plate 9, or to stack multiple top filter baskets 41 vertically in sequence on the upper part of the hanging box 1. Each top filter basket 41 is provided with a water inlet pipe, the lower end of which is connected to the water inlet 11, and the upper end of which is connected to the internal space of the top filter basket 41 or to the lower end of the water inlet pipe of the top filter basket 41 located above it. Multiple through holes are opened on the bottom wall of each top filter basket 41 to allow the upper and lower parts to pass through. Two adjacent top filter baskets 41 are interconnected. The through hole of the bottom top filter basket 41 is connected to the water inlet of the back filter assembly 5. Filter media components are respectively installed in multiple top filter baskets 41 to purify the water flowing through each top filter basket 41. Two adjacent top filter baskets 41 are interlocked together, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of filter media components in the top filter shell, thereby further improving the user experience. In this way, the aquarium filtration device can be stacked infinitely to improve the filtration effect without losing its aesthetics. In addition, a water-proof basket 43 is detachably installed inside the top filter basket 41 at the top end to divide the internal space of the current top filter basket 41 into upper and lower cavities. Since the water-proof basket 43 has an opening to allow the upper and lower cavities of the top filter basket 41 to communicate with each other, a sleeve 45 is connected at the lower end of the water-proof basket 43, and the lower end of the sleeve 45 is connected to the water inlet pipe of the current top filter basket 41. The top cover 44 is placed on the upper end of the water-proof basket 43 to prevent water in the top filter basket 41 from splashing out.

[0048] More preferably, the filter media components are made of filter screens, filter media, filter cotton and / or activated carbon, but are not limited to the above materials. Other materials will not be elaborated here. Other more suitable filter media can also be selected according to actual needs. In this way, the water in the aquarium can be filtered and purified through the filter media components, and impurities in the water can be adsorbed.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the adjusting rod 71 moves from bottom to top, it drives the baffle plate to open the water inlet 31, thereby connecting the water inlet 31 and the water outlet 61 to the water inlet of the water pump 32. Since the water inlet 31 is located at the bottom of the aquarium and the water outlet 61 is located on the surface of the aquarium, after the water pump 32 starts working, under the action of water pressure, the water in the aquarium will only enter the water supply pipe 2 through the water inlet 31, while the water outlet 61 will not enter. In addition, when the adjusting rod 71 moves from top to bottom, it drives the baffle plate to close the water inlet 31, thereby cutting off the channel between the water inlet 31 and the water inlet of the water pump 32, while opening the channel between the water outlet 61 and the water inlet of the water pump 32. This allows the water in the aquarium to enter the water supply pipe 2 through the water outlet 61, thus effectively solving the problems of difficult water supply, difficult machine start-up, and difficult restart after power failure of the wall-mounted aquarium filter 1.

[0050] Specifically, the upper end of the water supply pipe 2 is connected to the hanging box 1, and a mounting base 3 is provided at the lower end of the water supply pipe 2. The water pump 32 is installed inside the mounting base 3. By detachably adding at least one extension pipe 8 at the midpoint between the lower end of the water supply pipe 2 and the upper end of the mounting base 3, the length of the water supply pipe 2 can be adjusted. This allows the filtration device to be adapted to aquariums of different water depths. The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
